poop cube

rubio had a nissan cube in poop color for a week while her miata was in the shop. side swiped by an suv. she was not happy to say the least with the rental, but we all enjoyed it.

frels in the trunk on the way to lunch. hipstamatic lens-film randomizer in action.

penguin bday

was invited to a nice gathering at black star coop. there were a disproportinate number of cool chicks there. in typical penguin fashion.

the erotic christian poet. i'm still not sure how you fit those three things in one boat, but her logic seemed sound.

the dentist who knows my dentist and isn't afraid to dish about it.

hot ride

hatched a wacky idea to ride to friend's house yesterday. procrastination resulted in a 230pm departure. a pawn shop sign said it was 104. my dentist this morning said it was 112.

more hiptsa

binge trip to the asian market.

trash lunch. or maybe just frugal. $3 is hard to beat.

hipstamatic

enjoying new phone and camera app. functionality is excellent. makes it easy to take a good, fun pic.

summer fun

07.20.2011 kids in the fountain last night. park at riverside and dawson. passed through on a mojito fueled cruise.


google gets most of the park anatomy, including the sprial hill. cool.

07.16.2011 mid-mint julep, jim cullum's landing, riverwalk, san antonio. pics by domel. need sort through more images. this was nearing the end of an excellent day that included swimming, cocktails with friends, inga, historic hotel, riverwalk wander, and a jazz club.

fortune

1 combo crispy noodle + 3 rounds of iphone mahjong = 1 loveydovey fortune.

7.1.2011 hea cafe fortune. may come true in an unlikely form.

dogsitting

6.18.2011
the cost of babysitting a neurotic dog. she had only been there 3 hours. i got home from work to 2 messes on the floor.

parents and pet owners are funny. they never think their baby is capable of evil. i now have pictoral proof that they are.

the last time i babysat a neurotic dog, it destroyed hundreds of dollars of landscaping at the cave, chased the cats, barked nonstop, scratched the bamboo floors and kept me up all night. so by comparison, this was pretty tame.

both dogs came with user instructions along the lines of: oh, she's so sweet. you won't have any problems at all. she's so easy/well-behaved.

clearly.

goodbye cave, good luck rove

sold the cave.

offer came in june 6, closed june 17. had 2 days notice to vacate. it's gone, so i'm not going to complain, but i will say the rove kid (or his momma, or their handlers) was a picky little bitch.

6.16.2011
one last pic before following the moving van to brentwood. props to miss lc for helping, moral support, and drinking our last beer in the driveway.


6.23.2011
cave's parting gift to me. one last jab. $300 utility bill. probably some jackass realtor or their client screwing with the thermostat.


i will miss

• miss lc in the hood
• 2 neighbors
• bull creek walks
• lap pool across the street

i will not miss

• 5 year moneypit project
• the remaining issues that are now somebody elses problem
• 2 flights of stairs to get to bed
• whiteville
• a bimmer driving dentist and his teeny blonde wife as neighbors
• 360 commute

pool party

6.11.2011
recent pool partying has been with these kids. it's a good crowd.

this cat has no lenses in his glasses. anyone who wears costume props in public on days other than halloween is a friend in my book. thanks for keeping me in stitches rueben.

there aren't many restaurants open at midnight. thankfully baby a's was nearby.

christina rocking the hungry pirate. alexis rocking the 21.

crystal demonstrates my actual level of focus that night.

this is how uncle ray feels about chips and salsa.

not pictured is crystal's man patrick.

i'm nearly recovered. it's 3pm sunday. my training is on schedule.

social rebound

botg #1. i remember when it was 200 people on the arboretum lawn. this was 4 to 5 thousand at zilker with an acl-size stage

hauling beer and blanket to botg. rubio is my partner in crime tonight.

karaoke party with work peeps

cuong and frels duet, endless love. frels in falsetto.

happy hour

4.1.2011
dave in typical form.

old married couple. frels vs. frost

young corporate whore.

'sandy' blushing with a cosmo

par-tay

we survived. barely.

the only pic i've downloaded from the rapture party. i'll get around to finding the rest. there were several cameras and lots of bad pics (worse than this one).

out of frame are the costume bits. angel wings, devil tail, scythe, cross necklace. elizabeth has horns. the wings got mileage on at least 3 people.
